Soon come, Fayroe.
How similar have been our experiences here. Got here by looking up, in the library (because I didn't have a computer) Effexor. Wanted off, needed to know more about what I was putting into my body. Got a computer in , I think, 1999, who knows. I'm not good with dates. I know I was here in at least 2000.My earliest non Med Board experiences here were horrendous. The good doc made a lot of very nasty choices that I don't have the energy or desire to enumerate now. (Most importantly, he did nothing to protect participants from bullies who denied the very reality of anyone who voiced a contrary opinion, and in fact sat by and apparently enjoyed the spectacle of 10 or 12 people being accused of being one INSANE person---when he could simply have stepped in and said these folks are using different computers. I ASKED him to step up and state the facts. He declined.) Those choices formed my opinion of him, and though he seems to have grown a bit in the last 9 or ten years, it feels like expediency to me, and not real concern for people.
But that's neither here nor there.
I'm sick of waking up in the night, several times, worrying that I said something hurtful or harmful, that I'd phrased something in such a way that I said what I didn't mean, that even when I was trying to be kind and helpful I was harming people I cared about. (These of course are my own issues, and Internet Forum issues, not attributable to Bob's ineptitude or callousness.)
(Though I doubt Bob wakes up in the night worrying about how his words and actions have affected "Babblers".)I've repeatedly asked to be unregistered. The good doctor does not allow that.
Now I'm going to try the trick of registering with a password I cannot possibly remember. Trouble is, I have no idea what email address I used to register....I guess I'll work it out.
Best of everything to you, Fay. I hope to join you soon in blissful babble oblivion, and in Real Life LIFE.
Henrietta
